Uncle Chuck, a half-brother to Maclean's Music standing in Florida, was euthanized on Dec. 22 after he was found to have an untreatable form of lymphoma, BloodHorse reports.
The 6-year-old son of Uncle Mo stood two seasons at Journeyman Stud in Ocala, Fla., and he shuttled to Argentina for two Southern Hemisphere breeding seasons. He was among Florida's most active stallions during both of his seasons at stud, and his first foals are yearlings of 2024.
Bred in Kentucky by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, Uncle Chuck is out of the Unbridled's Song mare Forest Music, making him a half-brother to the popular sire Maclean's Music.
Uncle Chuck was trained by Bob Baffert for the partnership of Michael Pegram, Karl Watson, and Paul Weitman. He won on debut by seven lengths in June of his 3-year-old season, then he followed up with a four-length score in the Grade 3 Los Alamitos Derby. He then made one final out-of-the-money start in the G1 Travers Stakes to finish his career.
